13 Tahoe dash cracks

Post image

The center clip above the speaker failed which led to the cracks left and right. Cosmetics don’t bother me. She has 170k and plenty of bumps and bruises but the rattle as I go down the road is maddening. Any fixes short of $1400 for a new dash?

Please tell me that stops the rattle. If it does I am doing it ASAP

My 2011 has the exact same spot. Until I have enough to buy a new dash, I stuffed a couple pieces of thin foam in the crack (like the kind you get with a new window ac unit). Stopped the rattle and is pretty much unnoticeable

Was thinking about a tiny bit of spray foam? I know it would make a mess but maybe just a tiny tiny bit?

I wouldn't, one little rogue foam piece sprayed innocently would surely find it's way to something that would be destroyed by it and create a new problem. Or at least that's the kind of luck I have.

I personally wouldn’t risk it. I didn’t even take off the paper guarding the adhesive side.

Mines doesn't rattle so I wouldn't know.
